when i first moved into my neighborhood, i made the mistake of smiling and waving hello to my neighbor’s wife.
He sent the message thru 3 other neighbors that I was not to speak to them until i came over to introduce myself.
That was over 25 years ago. he still lives there and i have never introduced myself. some people are just a holes.
Since he was the newbie in the neighborhood and since he cared so much about formal introductions, he should have gone door to door and introduced himself.
